Review on Sigma by Mike Cody
A fairly simple tool, suitable both as an alternative and addition
I like that you can easily create multiple queries within one report which saves me some extra clicking when comparing values from different tables or columns. Also creating reports with many filters seems easier than other tools i've used before so far. Sometimes if there are errors while saving a query they don't get saved unless the problem disappears after refresh or opening them again but this doesn't happen often enough for me not to notice at first glance though! It's relatively easy to make your own charts/figures etc out of existing databases rather then having to do everything manually yourself but perhaps too much hassle compared sometimes to Excel where even just copying & pasting figures directly takes less work. Creating new dashboards for visualizing my team’s KPIs.
- Creating a new report or query with just a name and the query takes less than a minute
- Also the saving of queries can sometimes get a bit of a hassle when they don't work out the first or even the first or so many
